Fashion: Win £250 to spend at new Outfit store in Leeds

Christmas is now less than two months away – and that’s official. Time to get making lists and coming up with ideas for gifts that will be appreciated by even the most critical of family members and friends (or is that just my family members and friends?).

Trekking across town and city, up the High Street and down it again, covering every square centimetre of every shopping mall within a 40-mile radius, all in search of those elusive perfect presents for one and all, is not everyone’s idea of how to spend the next eight – yes, that’s right, eight – weekends between now and Christmas Eve. Especially not when there is the small matter of your own festive fashion wardrobe to consider.

What’s needed is a place where you can park up and do the lot all at the same time. This is where a multi-brand fashion store like Outfit is a blessing, because you can shop a sizeable chunk of High Street fashion in one go, finding menswear, womenswear, shoes and accessories all under one roof.
